Yoga Teachers' Toolbox

One of the first books I purchased, once I knew I would undertake yoga teacher training. Easy to follow information, packed with colorful diagrams showing modifications and which chakra(s) is/are active.The text for each pose includes lots of detailed, well-written cues. English name, Sanskrit name with translation, Main pose, Modification postures (Simplified postures for injuries or specific conditions), Variation postures (More advanced postures and options), More detailed information on Yoga and Ayurvedic doshas (also Doshas balanced at a glance), Chakra(s),Prana Vayus and elements activated at a glance, Langhana and Brahmana (heating/cooling),Category (warm-ups, standing, stabilization, hip openers, twists, back bends, lateral bends, forward bends, balance and inversions).If you are interested in yoga or are considering teaching yoga, this book offers a wealth of information in a very flexible, practical format. Each page can be removed making it easier to plan a sequence.The author also provides a lot of great suggestions on how to use the book. Well over 82 poses, since there are many advanced option/modifications shown as well. This seems to cover the asana spectrum pretty well, and you will love this book, but you may be wishing that it contained more.I would recommend this book!

I keep coming back to this, it has so much useful information. I love how it is organized, you can target specific chakra areas by color and find a whole plethora of asanas to apply. The pages are laminated so you can remove a page and set it near the mat for easy reference, especially useful for organizing and trying out new yoga sequences for yoga teachers and home practice. I recommend this book for all devoted yoga practitioners.

This is a very good book for people learning to teach yoga. It describes 90 poses and gives modifications for each pose. The author explains in detailed easy to understand language how to move into each pose. I like that the book is a binder and that the pages are laminated. A student in a yoga teacher training program or a newer yoga teacher can take different pages out of the book to come up with sequences to use in a class. The pages will stay in good shape due to the lamination and the pages can be taken in and out of the binder easily. This book and the information in it should last a lifetime. The only thing that I wish it had was a list of poses that can be done before each pose and after each pose.

This is teh best yoga book I own. And I own a lot. I like how durable the pages are, but the actual binder isn't so fabulous. Each pose has more info on it than I have ever seen. I wish it were $20 less. But whatcha gonna do? Totally recommend. Each pose has like 4 pics of modifications. I love that. Such an easy thing to do, I wonder why more yoga book writers don't follow suit. Hint-hint.

Bought this for my wife, who is an avid yoga practitioner. She is in the process of getting her Yoga Teachers' Certification, and told me this book came highly recommended by her teacher. Since receiving it, she has told me this book has been invaluable towards her training, and will refer to it for years to come. She loves the laminated,removable notebook pages. Great book at a fair price!!

For the price of this toolbox the binder should come in working order. While the item was packed in bubble wrap the rings on the binder do not close entirely (manufacturing issue). The contents of the book are very useful- buyers will need to source a new binder as the holes aren't standard size.

Great tool for yoga teachers to instruct students into basic yoga poses. Majority of the book is on the basic yoga poses. The binder is heavy and the pages are laminated cards, so if you have a specific pose you want, you can carry the card with you rather than the whole book.

The contents are great! The problem is the three ring binder. When I got the book one of the rings was bent slightly so the pages are always caught on it. Super annoying! The book is smaller regular three ring binder, so you can't stick the pages into another binder. I wish I would have returned this for a replacement, but I waited too long. I believe this bent ring problem is common. This was a required text for a yoga course and others in my class had the same complaint.

Really love this toolbox...its a tad pricey and they cover poses that can be found in all yoga books for a cheaper price or via Google online but if you love having multiple books and resources and love all things in bright colours, especially these which relate the poses to the Chakras, and have detailed teaching instructions for the poses...more details that you will ever need as teaching cues...but as a teacher trainee I always find that by using multiple resources I can find one or more little teaching cue gems that I have not yet come across and I am really loving using this toolkit :-)

Amazing!! I wish I got this sooner. A tool any keen yogi student or new teacher should have. The cards are beautifully illustrated and everything is easy to understand. I love this!

Really wonderful resource, even if on the expensive side.

Love the layout and quality of the cards. This is my go-to resource for lesson planning and was great during my teacher training.

Very good reference. Very complete. Love the color coding aspect and systems organization.
